The debut album from this band from Italy.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, bouzouki, keyboards and vocals.
Three guests added percussion, cello, violin and flute.
This is a new band on the Italian scene and they released their second album earlier this year. An album I will review later this week for this blog.
The band was an RPI cover band in their earlier years, covering Genesis and the classic Italian bands songs. Then they started to write their own material. Black Widows Records did a very smart thing by signing them.
The band is fronted by a female vocalist, Emanuela Vedana, who does a great job here and whose vocals is a perfect fit for their music.
Music which is classic RPI with a lot of Genesis and some King Crimson and Yes influences incorporated too.
The music on this one hour long album is very complex at times. It is indeed symphonic with some medium long songs ending with the quarter of an hour closing title track/opus.
The music is also melodic and features the Italian pop and folk rock sensibilities from the 1970s.
There is lots of lots of interesting details here and RPI fans will get their boots full with this album.
The overall quality is also very good and there is no doubts that this album and band is a great addition to the RPI scene. A scene that just continues to deliver. A great scene indeed.
